Whale Watching Cruises - Sydney, Australia

Bass and Flinders Cruises

Sightings

Each week in the Sydney Whale Watching season we update this sightings page from our official logs. We try and add some actual images that have been taken on these trips.

If you have been on one of our cruises you can submit your photos or video to photos@whalewatchingsydney.net. please note, due to the huge number of spam this email address is sent, only emails with 'Whale2008' in subject line will be received

Most importantly, if you have photos showing the whale fluke patterns that identify the whales, we would love you to send them to photos@whalewatchingsydney.net and be a part of our research effort.

Check out previous years whale logs and images, view 2008 sightings

Sightings noted here are those pods of whales we see from the Ocean Dreaming (we tend to have more afternoon cruises scheduled than morning), not the total number of whales passing the city each day, which is normally a much greater number.

Total whales watched this year is : 121
